The screenings of this award-winning TV series are free and open to the public

The University of Wisconsin-Manitowoc will host advance screenings for the new season of Art21's "Art in the Twenty-First Century."

The screenings of this award-winning TV series, which are free and open to the public, will take place at 5 p.m. on Oct. 15; Nov. 5 and 19; and Dec. 3, in room H218 in Hillside Hall.

Each screening is an hour and will be followed by discussion led by art professors Berel Lutsky or Sam Watson.

As in past seasons, each one-hour episode is organized around a theme that connects the artists. This season features episodes on investigation, secrets, legacy and fiction.

The series will feature a dozen artists from the United States, Europe and Latin America, and will transport viewers to artistic projects across the country and around the world. In locations as diverse as a Bronx public housing project, a military testing facility in the Nevada desert, a jazz festival in Sweden and an activist neighborhood in Mexico, the artists reveal intimate and personal insights into their lives and creative processes.

More information can be found at www.pbs.org/art21/ and Art21.org. For information about the screenings, contact Lutsky at berel.lutsky@uwc.edu, or call (920) 683-4700.
